If the assumptions for a nonpooled t-interval are satisfied, the formula for a (1 )-level upper confidence bound for the difference, 1

If the assumptions for a nonpooled t-interval are satisfied, the formula for a (1− α)-level upper confidence bound for the difference, μ₁ − μ₂, between two population means is

For a left-tailed hypothesis test at the significance level α, the null hypothesis H₀: μ₁ = μ₂ will be rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis H_a: μ₁ 2 if and only if the (1 − α)-level upper confidence bound for μ₁ − μ₂ is negative. In each case, illustrate the preceding relationship by obtaining the appropriate upper confidence bound and comparing the result to the conclusion of the hypothesis test in the specified exercise.
